Xi Jinping warns Putin to ‘hold back’ on using nuclear weapons | Rana Mitter
“It may just be that one of the reasons that Russia is holding back from using tactical nukes.”
Xi Jinping may be the reason why Putin has not used nuclear weapons as it is “a red line” for the president of China, says Professor Rana Mitter.

Great interview
Taiwan 🇹🇼
The Harvard-Kennedy School have pinched this Professor from the orbit of the University of Oxford, and I can understand why. His commentary is so responsive, pertinent and lucid that he is a gift for any interviewer. His expertise in his own field makes him a fluently confident interviewee and contrary to some trollish remarks I have read here he is absolutely on the money. China surely does not want an Empire in the conventional sense but wants a lot of smart power or influence. It is in step with Russia concerning authoritarianism. But we must hopefully believe that Xi has imposed a red line Putin may not cross by outlawing the use of even tactical nuclear weapons.

Wow! So he doesn't think things are that bad in China? I beg to differ, but he's the expert. I guess we will see as time will tell.😮
More complete bs. It's us that always bangs on about nukes !
For China, persuading Russia requires considerable courage. Because China and Russia share a border, if Russia gets angry at China, China will fall into a great crisis. Therefore, China has never dared to make any demands on Russia, but only maintains peace between China and Russia. But once Russia uses nuclear weapons, China will not be able to accept it, so China has no other choice but to boldly persuade Russia.
If Russia uses Nukes in Ukraine, what would stop Ukraine from attacking all the nuclear power plants in Russia ?
Putin has no intention of using nukes, were do these guys come from.

In normal times he would never use nukes. But as his time runs out & he is backed into a corner more, he might like to in the desperation to save his worthless hide. But by then, he will have lost so much power he won't be able too. He has probably passed that point a while back.

Interesting. Well before this video, anyone following all of this would have heard something about relations between Russia, and China. Months ago, another channel argued that Russia would be the junior partner in that relationship, but I don't know what that means. Maybe it means what this video implies, and Russia taking direction from China.

@@davidjones-wt2qq China is definitely doing far worse than Europe or the US. China’s economic growth is plateauing, unemployment is up, investment and exports are down, and internal consumption is still low. China’s massive real estate and construction markets, which make up a quarter of the entire economy, are rapidly deflating. Meanwhile, China’s debt burden is growing and is already much larger than that of the United States. These issues may be structural in nature and require liberalizing reforms that are not likely to be condoned by the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping.

I'm a bit sick of Times Radio coming out with apocalyptic, false stories that never match the actual content of the video. It's always sensationalized for clicks. Today is no different. Title: "Xi Jinping warns Putin to ‘hold back’ on using nuclear weapons" Description text: "Xi Jinping may be the reason why Putin has not used nuclear weapons" A jump from "warns" to "may be the reason". I'm un-subbing from this channel. This misinformation for clicks is now daily.
